Waterco Swimming Pool Heat Pumps
Waterco heat pumps are the most efficient means of heating your swimming pool all year round.
Waterco Heat Pump - Swimming Pool Heat Pumps UK Superior Efficiency, Low Running Costs.
A swimming pool heat pump pool heater only requires energy to operate a compressor and a fan motor, using low amperage in the process. Waterco heaters produces up to 5 times more heat energy than the electrical power it consumes. This means that for every 1kw of electricity consumed, the Waterco pool heat pump produces 5 kw of heat into the pool water. Using the power consumption in kw/hour, you can work out the approximate heating cost.
Titanium Heat Exchanger
A Titanium Heat Exchanger offers total protection against erosion and corrosion. Titanium metal’s corrosion resistance is due to a stable, protective, strongly adherent oxide film. This film forms instantly when a fresh surface is exposed to air or moisture.
Titanium is resistant to: chlorinated water, ozone, iodine, Baquacil, bromine and salt water.
How a Heat Pump works
The Waterco heat pump extracts heat energy from the surrounding air and transfers the heat energy to the water of the swimming pool. The heat pump works like a reversed air conditioner, using an evaporator, a compressor, and condenser to heat water instead of cooling air.
Step 1 Capture
The heat pumps fan circulates air through the outer evaporator air coil that acts as a heat collector and absorbs heat from the ambient air. The liquid refrigerant in the air coil absorbs the available heat in the air transforming it to a gas.
Step 2 Transfer
The heat pumps compressor then receives the warmed refrigerant and intensifies the heat. The intensely hot refrigerant is then pumped into the heat exchanger (condenser).
Step 3 Heat Exchange
The heat from the hot refrigerant flowing inside the heat exchanger is then transferred to the pool water, via the surface of the heat exchanger’s coils.
Step 4 The cycle begins again
The refrigerant is then ready to restart the process and flows into the evaporator air coil to collect heat again.
Powerful Heat Exchanger
The unique design of the heat exchanger creates an unmatched and powerful Heat transfer due to greater surface area contact it has with the water, generating a high temperature differential between the water entering and the water leaving the heat exchanger.
Automated Controls
Waterco Heat Pump Automatic Controls - Swimming Pool Heat Pumps UK Simply program your desired pool water temperature and let the Waterco heat pump do the rest.
Protection devices have been built into the heater for ease of operation and to increase the durability of the product.
Auto defrost control to eliminate frost on the evaporator in cold temperature conditions.
Auto Flow switch to shut the system when there is no water flow.
High /low pressure auto reset to shut the system and compressor in the event of low or high pressure.
Compressor protection via time delay – A time delay is incorporated into the system, allowing the refrigerant pressures to equalise before the compressor starts/restarts.
Waterco Electro Heat Ultra Low Swimming Pool Heat Pump
The Waterco Electro Ultra Low Pool Heat Pump is an extended season pump, which is ideal for getting the most out of your swimming pool, in times of the year where the temperature is lower. Such as spring or autumn. The Waterco Ultra Low Heat Pump has a top mounted fan for efficient air flow, as well as a hot gas defrosting function that enables the pump to work when the temperature outside is near freezing point (0°)
Waterco Electro Heat Ultra Low Pool Heat Pump Features:
- Digital Control Panel
- Environmentally Friendly Refrigerant
- Compression Protection time Delay
- Scroll Compressor

General Considerations
The Waterco heat pump is designed to economically heat a pool maintaining the desired water temperature at all times. The Waterco heat pump will effectively heat your swimming pool when the ambient air temperature reaches 7 to 10° C or more. The Waterco heat pumps performance will fluctuate depending on water and weather temperatures.
The Waterco heat pump, at the start, will heat slowly but at 21°C and more, it will perform well maintaining the desired water temperature at a very low cost and could run as little as 2 hours per day in the process.
Between 10°C to 18°C, it will increase your water temperature by 3°C to 5.5°C a day. Over 21°C you should obtain an increase up to 0.8°C a hour and over 26°C up to 1.1°C an hour depending on the size of the swimming pool, the size of the heat pump, the water temperature, and the ambient air temperature at the moment of operation.
Waterco heat pumps are capable of heating water up to a temperature of 40°C and more if required, depending on water and ambient air temperature at the time of operation.
Overview of benefits between Solar Heating, Gas Heaters and Heat Pumps
Solar Heating
- Fueled by the power of the sun, solar Heating systems are a low-cost, method of heating up your pool water.
- As Solar Heaters are reliant on the sun, they are best used to extend the swimming season.
- Virtually no operating costs, just the cost of electricity to pump the pool water through the solar absorber on the roof.
Gas Heating
- Gas heaters are fastest method for heating your pool, providing a comfortable temperature for swimming on demand. Gas is best for heating pools or spas for short periods of time.
- Gas heaters can easily maintain any desired temperature regardless of the weather.
- Gas heaters are effective, but expensive to operate.
Heat Pumps
- Heat pumps do not heat up the swimming pool as fast as gas heaters, but they are the most cost effective method of heating your pool all year round.
- Heat pumps operate uses a small amount of electricity.
- The heat comes from the ambient air.
- Heat pumps can only operate efficiently in climates with ambient temperatures above 7°
